Stealth

[Jax]

The crane yesterday was in the middle of the Stealth plaza facing towards the top hat, so it may well have been.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if the support for these older models is more limited now but I'd be surprised if Intamin providing no support at all. 

 

You'd be right in saying that the part needs to be sourced elsewhere, but hopefully it shouldn't be too long now.

Thanks again Jax, brilliant advice

Thanks, I'm probably guessing with Stealth that it's a quite big sophisticated part that's gone wrong maybe hence the crane unless it was for something to do with the track. At least we know that Thorpe won't be giving up on their ride though. I'm sure we all know that an LSM launch just isn't really anything quite like a hydraulic launch. I do prefer that massive g force

Just to make it clear, Intamin have in no way stopped providing support for their Accelerators. Whilst it's true they don't offer the model any more (or at least, no one has considered doing so for over a decade), it in no way means they've washed their hands of it.

 

Thorpe/Merlin and Intamin maintain a respectable working relationship, and that is also related to the current issue(s).

Ah glad to hear! That wasn’t there on Tuesday at all. The doors to the launch weren’t open either.

Good to see there's a bit of action going on (albeit small) but at least we know there's something going on.

Thanks Josh, great news to hear!
